Love gently holding my favs in the palm of my hand. There is something real, about seeing characters from different works, side by side, interacting, in this world, my world, in a space I created. Mixing! and matching!! Clothes, accessories, stories. There's just so much there.
Changing, editing toys so they're more accurate, or detailed or just so they fit more to your preference. It's awesome! It's interaction, it's engaging with the world, and your wants. It's creating something by your own hand, that was not there before. THAT'S PLAYING. Just one of many ways to have a good time.
Collecting lil things is so important. When you look for it, you find stuff otherwise overlooked. A stray button can be a coaster, an old sock a pillow. Trash can be treasure, can remade. Trash can also just be trash, an overwhelming amount of it when you notice, a grossly preventable amount you realize. Being an adult doesn't mean you don't play, just that you have to be responsible when you do so. Having fun on Earth is your right, but taking care of it is your duty. Not a personal burden, but a collective one we share. When a company takes measures to reduce plastic that we do not need, AND we still get to have the toy we want, that is growth, that is healing. When you refuse to acknowledge the role play has in our adult lives, you also tend to ignore any issues associated with it. And most regrettably, you miss out.
One thought I've always had about this topic was what if we brought back Bionicle style packaging where the packaging itself was part of the playpattern? Of course, my parents threw out most of my Bionicle canisters anyway...
@@Doiboy35 To an extent, that's what Monster High did for their coffin releases like Skulltimate Secrets. The problem is that the packaging has to be REALLY useful to justify keeping it: like vital to the play pattern useful. For the brands that can do it, that's super awesome, but it's a big risk and investment of capital, time, and budget that could be used to make packaging cheaper for the customer and company that's also better for the environment.
@@thedaftbrothersYeah, those Monster High things were pretty big, and I can see the problems that sort of thing can cause. One thing I thought of was maybe more toy companies could go a route I've seen on some online retailers where they have two purchase options: a windowed box or a basic cardboard one. That way, the people who keep their figures mint in box can have their display option while out of box people (like myself) can have a simpler more recyclable option and perhaps even a small discount. The issue with this idea though is that they would have to design and produce 2 box types and brick and mortar stores would still probably opt for the plastic packaging. Still, not sure why so many people seem to be worried about windowless packaging when Figma, SH Figuarts, Robot Damashii, and many other Japanese figure brands have been (occasionally) doing it for ages now.
11:00 This seems the best solution. A cardboard box inlay and a plastic sheet window. In fact, that's what Hasbro was doing before they removed them. That way you can display them in box and keep them secure in transit.
Nendoroids aren't toys nor should they be played with as such. There meant to be swappable figures and some people use them for stop motion, but that's the only "play" they get. They are fragile and i've broken one figure and broke a plastic part and damaged my nendoroids paint job (all by accident). Like most figures there just meant to look cool, but the whole box thing to me is an issue least more so in regards to the bootleg market. Once the bootleg companies start to pick up on the change, they will change up there box designs to match, though usually they don't add in the logos and such. Either way I think it's a bad move. If they can figure out a balance to protect the figure and display it in box then by all means I'm solid.
@@violetto3219is that really playing though most nendos aren't like an action figure where they have many moving parts most of them have preset arms making them a bit more of a glorified pop than anything
I think the difference is it's intended purpose. Unlike action figures, that can be labeled as toys, nendoroids have a high price point, a nice amount of them have small parts or fragile ones, and they are kind of a limited edition since there's only so many of them made most of the time. Nendoroids do have a lot of possibility, but they are mainly meant to be displayed in one pose then moved around every few months or a year so you don't get bored. I've never heard anyone call a Nendoroid a toy before so thank you for the unique perspective on Nendoroids. I think in general it's like the difference between a fact and an opinion where both can be right, but one is believed more often than the other because it's proven to be true. So you probably can call a Nendoroid a toy, but not everyone would agree.
But the box specifically says "not a toy"! The eco-friendly argument is not relevant for nendoroids because the plastic packaging doesn't touch the environment, it stays in boxes in people's houses. It's also like, 1% of the total plastic in a nendoroid, so even if we were throwing the boxes out, it would be a negligible improvement.
you mean not everyone keeps every box ever for any figure they get to store things like accessories and potentially the whole figure again if needed? no? oh, I guess just me then...I love the plastic for that reason tbh...
I don't like these or funkos because they have barely any articulation. I prefer Gunpla, action figures and figurise models because I can move them around and pick a pose of my own.
I keep mines just so I can store my figures accessories and incase I need to make sure I have all of them, plus I move from time to time so its convenient for me to store them.
Does it really matter if a Company that makes Plastic Figures makes Plastic Packaging. The fumes from printing the plastic probably kills more exotic animals than the Nendoroid packaging.
In short, yes, it does. Any reduction in the amount of plastic they use, especially single use plastics, is good at the scale they produce on. Sustainability is not an all or nothing effort.
Also everyone involved in the production of The Daft Brothers is pretty anti-facist and a vocal critic of Donald Trump, the far right, and the increasing white nationalist sentiment in the United States. So this election kinda mid.
my touys
calling a nendroid a funko pop is just criminal.
Hearing that hurt😔😂😂😂

I would call them adult toys but that sounds wrong

swapping their parts and posing them cute on a shelf or a desk is the play feature, boss
wait till you hear about the oldest way toys were made, with porcelain

what are your thoughts on dolls
you know
the defacto toy that basically has everyone going "hmmmmmmmm, what if we made them with some articulation"
But the box specifically says "not a toy"!

how does that change with paper and cardboard
@SevensDran cardboard will not be as form fitted for storage and less secure for repackaging
Bro i don’t remember subscribing for this💀😅

Wait a minute were you in a jet Hcusso video with a pen
Yeah, Zep has been in a video with his pin and been shouted out in one of his Bakugan videos. Jett has also cameoed in one of our Christmas Zepisodes.
Why did you throw Lego under the bus like that?
@@okniwy Lego be toys, what else can I say
true as always my brother
Another reason why some people would keep toys in packaging is for resale value and dust. If the figure is in the box, it’s not difficult to dust.
I keep mines just so I can store my figures accessories and incase I need to make sure I have all of them, plus I move from time to time so its convenient for me to store them.

@@thedaftbrothersGreat response to this kind of question! Any step forward is a step in the right direction!
@@thedaftbrothers Nendoroid packaging isn't single use though.
They aren’t toys, but you also aren’t supposed to keep it in the box.
